EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite gown worn by Deborah Sampson, a remarkable woman from Massachusetts during the late 18th century. Made of plate-printed linen, this gown is a testament to both style and historical significance. Deborah Sampson Gannett (1760-1827) holds a unique place in American history as she was the first known woman to impersonate a man in order to join the army and actively participate in combat. Her bravery and determination are symbolized by this elegant garment. The delicate floral pattern adorning the gown adds an air of femininity, contrasting with its association with military service. The neckscarf gracefully drapes around her shoulders, adding an extra touch of elegance to her attire. Preserved by Historic New England in Boston, Massachusetts, this artifact serves as a tangible link to our nation's past. It stands as a reminder of the extraordinary women who defied societal norms and contributed significantly to shaping our country's history. This print captures not only the beauty of Deborah Sampson's gown but also pays homage to her indomitable spirit. Through it, we can appreciate her courage and determination while celebrating her role as one of America's pioneering female soldiers.
